December 29, 2023. Sunset 4:59 PM. San Francisco, CA.
Thank you Mardi and Matt (and Kiki) and Tony-- This is a first and very exciting moment for the dailybell.
Big sunset moment. No photo available!!! HOORAY!
Anyone who has been following over the years will be familiar with Mardi, Matt (and his dog, Kiki) and Tony-- So I leave it to your imagination to picture them together in some configuration around the bell among the weeds and near the tree and the red truck ringing together.
This evening was the first time (that I know of) in the almost 16 years of ringing along with the sun(rise) and set that people gathered and rang the bell that's now set in stone (well, cement) in front of our house-- when we weren't there.

elevator tickets for the sunset(s)???
December 26, 2023. Sunset 5:36 PM. Burj Khalifa- Dubai.
"Not quite sunset"- Joe P.
OK-- Here's the explanation!!
check here for floor plan We were 125 stories high in that pic (but that’s not really the top) That same link sort of explains the 2 sunsets…see the Ramadan Observance section:
On the higher floors, the sun is seen for several minutes after it has set at ground level. Those living above the 80th floor should wait two extra minutes to break their Ramadan fast, and those living above the 150th floor should wait three minutes.
The sun sets 2 minutes later at the top and the elevator is really fast so you can watch the sunset on the ground then take the elevator to the top and watch it again.
